A Charitable Moment With Kate Winslet

This week when I sat down with Kate Winslet, actress, philanthropist, and Lancôme "ambassadress," we chitchatted about her amazing jacket (Helmut Lang) and our shared affinity for Hermes bracelets. But we also talked about something less superficial: Lancôme's Golden Hat Foundation Holiday Collection, which benefits the Golden Hat Foundation, Winslet's autism initiative.

Winlset was inspired to create the Golden Hat Foundation after she provided the narration for a documentary about a Keli Thorsteinsson, a boy with non-verbal autism. "Through the process of lending my voice to something that was about a child who didn't have a voice, there was something about that connection that didn't leave me," says Winslet. "I walked away from one day in a recording studio in London and though that's it? Surely I can do something else."

Winslet asked Lancôme to also get involved, which resulted in the limited-edition holiday collection, with Lancôme donating 150,000 Euros to the foundation. The star of the collection is the Poudre Lumière in Golden Hat, an pink and gold highlighter embossed with (what else?) a golden hat. But equally festive are the red lip and nail options, which Winslet loves wearing together. "Because if you're going to go there you gotta go there with both," she says.
